CURLOPT_URL Formatting with "()"

[knowramphp]

I am having trouble getting a Curl script to work for a GET request. 

if I use the following as the URL everything works. 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://10.10.10.10/vmrest/users');

However if I try and add a query to filter out the results I get an error 505. Is there anything different I have to do to get CURLOPT_URL to format correctly when using the brackets and spaces?

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://10.10.10.10/vmrest/users?query=(dtmfaccessid startswith +1214820)'); 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Construct a valid URL with something like http_build_query:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://10.10.10.10/vmrest/users?' . http_build_query(['query' => '(dtmfaccessid startswith +1214820)']));
